My brother and sil are finding out on Monday if the baby she’s carrying us going to have Down’s Syndrome. My brother is taking it very badly. Intellectualism is super important to him, and he feels like he won’t be able to connect at all with the child, or something. It’s bad around here. I don’t mean to sound…

Hello, friends!

So, my mom is having a rough life. The woman should be retired by now, but she got a raw deal in her divorce and lost a lot of her retirement savings when she was laid off a few years back. She has a crap job with no security, is in the middle of a move, is supporting my crazy sister who lost her job…

I read the book so I noticed this immediately when Mackenzie Davis showed up as Mindy Park. Then I remembered what Ridley Scott said about casting non-white characters in Exodus: Gods and Kings:

Slow outrage day huh?

Whitewashing with a black actor. It seems there was a pretty fair variety of ethnicity in the movie. People just want something to bitch about

No. I am not going to correspond with a professional person who lists that as their primary contact. Gmail is free. Make an account with a username that makes you look older than a fifteen year old horny person.

It’s not unwarranted. Whenever there is a sale, they don’t put the game on sale. They include a bunch of these shark cards (in game money). If you launch the game with one of those cards on your account, the game is 100% unrefundable.

It’s a warning. They’re just laying down what might be a problem for some. I follow…

So we now need to rely on other users who are doing what Valve should be doing for free?

Our friends, the Saudis.

Speaking as someone who lives but a couple hundred miles from Saudi Arabia, and knows many Filipinos, Indonesians, malaysians, etc. Who live and work in Dubai.... never, ever, ever set foot for any reason in Saudi Arabia. You enter, you are a slave. Period. Your life is not yours. Do not go. No matter how bad it is at…

Please forgive this rant and don’t come at me with any bullshit “you’re anti Islam” comments.

Can someone please lend this poor woman a hand?

Because, you know, one can’t exactly discover a new place if nations of people were already living there for centuries.

I hate to be pedantic, but as an American Indian, I despise the term “indigenous person.” I am a Mescalero Apache, raised on the reservation, and I look like what central casting would send over if a director needed an “indian.” Most American Indians prefer to be identified primarily by their tribe, but recognize that…

I am all for hating on these people if they DID wear or encourage blackface, but aren’t they dressing up like specific people? Kanye West and the Kardashians are celebrities - making a party celebrity themed isn’t wrong is it?

This is dumb college kids who are now having their chance to learn that the casual racism they picked up from their parents and peers is going to be hard to carry forward into the 21st century.

That was a joke? Yikes.

Fun fact: this is one of the most recommended documentaries in the post-Mormon community because of the parallels.

Er, to me, this is a matter of basic math. I have lived in NYC for 8 years and the NY metro area for my entire life. I have gotten my nails done in many different places, and when you start doing the addition at most of them, the price for your manicure starts to not add up to anything near what would be a livable…
